WTF!!!!!

EXCLUSIVE: Here is a great holiday gift for soap fans: I’ve learned that Prospect Park has revived its plan to continue cancelled ABC daytime dramas All My Children and One Life To Live online. I hear the company behind USA hit Royal Pains has inked deals with SAG-AFTRA and DGA for the soaps’ production, eyed to begin in the first quarter of 2013.

ES strikes me as someone who would be really enthusiastic about this, actually. She seems to LOVE to work and the show will be taping in her neck of the woods. Plus the SBH connection. Lord nows what they're ironing out, but I actually expected her to be one of the first, if not the first, on board.

These people (the Prospect execs, not Horgan or Racina) tried to bully and then smear Susan fuckin' Lucci over AMC in the trades last time. That was beyond the pale for me.

I had hoped that Erika was signing after Jeff Giles, the OLTL oral history guy, mentioned on his FB that a "major castmember" who in his opinion they "couldn't really do the show without" was about to sign. But now that we're back to leaking, I'm not so sure.

I also don't like people bugging folks on social media. When they have something to share, they'll share it. I'm sure they appreciate your enthusiasm for seeing them on screen again, but take into consideration their feelings about not being asked back (yet). Use those moments to write PP instead.

Clearly PP is the one approaching so Fans begging the actors my be jarring to the actors if they are not approached.

The guy said he talked to Bob Woods on the phone though, that would be a really strange lie

Yeah that is why I buy this. Cause RSW could just sue this guy for lying. So Im excited.

I'm no legal expert, but I don't think RSW could sue over something like that. Now, if he said RSW was freebasing when he talked to him....

I really shouldn't laugh at that so hard.

Perhaps I should have saved that one for the BTS Rumors thread?

The mere thought of this is making me laugh so effing hard, and I have no idea why.

Wow....look at how young Bob Woods looks in this photo....

Jackie.

I'll believe ES and RSW are involved when they confirm it directly. All this bullshit leaking to other sites and trades is what PP tried to pull last time to pressure people.

This is a little different. This is a respected journalist reporting what he's heard directly from Bob Woods. Completely different from the Susan Lucci situation where nobody was named. He actually spoke to Bob Woods.

Since this is a new show, I don't consider casting to be a spoiler. With that said, here's a tweet from Nelson Branco:

Casting News: #OLTL recasting an older Matthew Buchanan, Destiny. Also, casting notice says a new character, conman Billy. #GH

I am a little nervous about how the news shifted to OLTL from AMC. It almost seems as if they are not focusing on AMC like last time. Also, how hard could it be to find a Co-HW?? I wonder if someone like Margaret DePriest or Clair Labine will join in? We really don't need a writer with AMC experience since Ginger Smith has been their for 20 years or so.

That's funny, I was just thinking before I went to sleep that we'd probably keep the characters but I assumed they'd be recasts
